Netflix has snatched up the distribution rights to EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE the sure-to-be-controversial movie from director Joe Berlinger starring Zac Efron as Ted Bundy. And today we have the poster for the film which you can check out in all of its creepy glory below. The poster is a bit 'meh' but I still dig it as it keeps driving home that fact that Efron just might end up being the perfect choice to portray Bundy.
I guess we'll see later this year. Here's the synopsis for those of you who may have forgotten:
Told through the perspective of Elizabeth Kloepfer, Bundy's longtime girlfriend who went years denying the accusations against Bundy, but ultimately turned him into the police. Only nearing his execution, when Bundy began talking about his extensive and heinous murders, did Kloepfer, and the rest of the world, learn the true scope of his numerous and grizzly murders.
EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE is directed by Berlinger (BLAIR WITCH 2) from a script by Michael Werwie and stars John Malkovich, Lily Collins, Kaya Scodelario, Angela Sarafyan, Jeffrey Donovan, Jim Parsons, Metallica's James Hetfield, and Efron as Ted Bundy.
It's said that Netflix shelled out a cool $9 million for the rights and that their plan is to give the movie an awards season theatrical run. The film is then expected to debut on the service sometime after that. We'll let you know as soon as we hear more concrete plans.
And remember, MPAA recently slapped the movie with an R-rating for "disturbing/violent content, some sexuality, nudity, and language."
